If album artwork could make any suggestion on the outcome of the sounds it contained, the scientific significance of the 1,000 words the image from Dabruck & Kliens Hands On evokes may go something along the lines of:

Take one huge tune
ADD mountains of bass
MARINADE IN buckets of attitude
SPRINKLE genre cross-breeding.

Shake until proven epic.

Serve.

This little banger consists of a mathematically damaging concoction of beats that will test the strength of your windows (if listened to, as loudly as I did, in my still-has-the-smell new car).

It is dangerous.

Each track has been pulled apart and reconstructed with a level of such awesome filth; you could only compare it to a sunny November 29 day with all these disgusting (yet so epic) Moustaches walking around. All but one tune (Light Coming Out of Your Eyes feat. Stella Attar) is a Dabruck & Klien original. All others are either a remix or ‘Opinion’ mix of another blockbuster tune by as equally stronger force within the Trance and Progressive Community.

The whole album is like putting sound into a softdrink bottle, adding a mentos and waiting for it to explode. Complete ear0gasm genius.

With the reworks of (what could be considered archaic) tracks you could think you’d heard it all before. Three Drives on a Vinyl – Greece 2000, Binary Finary – 1998 or Veracocha – Carte Blanche, you’d think ‘they’ve been done and done’, but then; listen to this little slice. With an auditory attitude to ensure you pull faces your mother would ground you for with a then vs now blend of style, sound and seriousness this double CD collection is not for the weak.

It could be said on that point; it is not a CD for the traditionalist. I could hear it from the back of my mind that their way of looking at certain masterpieces like Dakota – Chinook or Armin van Buurens This Light Between Us some may scream it to be trance-anthem-murder. But as mentioned by the track list, this is how Dabruck & Klien view these tunes; they are welcome to having an opinion.

All things considered, if you’re a little open minded, not afraid of anything loud and after a fresh approach to some old floor fillers this is a winner for you. It covers the textbook characteristics of Trance with a mix of Electro, Tech House and Techno that might even convince any non-believer that they are more similar than you think.
